Synopsis

Gongsun Haoyue, the young lady of a marquis’s household, dreamed from childhood of riding into battle. She longed for her father to teach her martial arts when he returned victorious, but who could have guessed… After suffering the unbearable loss of her father and brother, Gongsun Haoyue developed a heart condition, yet her desire to avenge them only grew stronger. Six years later, Gongsun Haoyue returned from her training just as war flared up again in the north. Disguised as a man, she went to the battlefield and unexpectedly found her older brother, whom she had believed killed in action seven years earlier. As she helped her brother recover his memories, she dared to reopen the wounds in her own heart and face the past. To her surprise, this also cured the heart condition she had suffered from for years. Along the way, some people bore her burdens, some silently watched over her, and some waited for her with unwavering patience. As time passed and the truth was painstakingly pieced together, what had happened all those years ago gradually came to light… In the end, Gongsun Haoyue grew from a young lady bent solely on avenging her family into a female general devoted to her country and its people.

Looking for an Elegant Historical Chinese Romance Without Outlandish, Over-the-Top, or Brain-Dead Tropes

I want something with elegant, delicate writing. Not the kind that opens with someone getting disfigured or having their heart cut out. That's too melodramatic and clumsy. And no side characters like concubine-born daughters or female antagonists publicly attacking the heroine at banquets. People like that wouldn't survive three hours in ancient times unless they were faking their deaths. It's so unrealistic.

Seeking High-Quality Historical Romance, No Transmigration, Rebirth, or System

I like food, palace intrigue, the imperial examinations, political schemes, and crime-solving. On Tomato, I’ve read The Strongest Female Grand Secretary Rises Against the Odds; for palace intrigue, Zhaohua Weiyang, Palace Willows, and Deep Palace Strategy: The Tale of Qingzhi; for food, Chang’an Snack Shop (I can’t remember if it was on Tomato).

No Rebirth, No Transmigration, No Golden Finger, Just a Classic Historical Romance With the Right Values

I want an ancient setting with palace intrigue and household drama. No one being reborn or transmigrating, and no System. I don't want an especially strong female or male lead. I like stories where the couple are evenly matched and the male lead is the crown prince. Both leads should be good-looking, intelligent, and have sound values!

Looking for Good Reads with Beautiful Prose and Rich Detail, No Toxic Authors or Idiot Plots

No brainless protagonists, and nothing too toxic. The writing just needs enough detail to be readable. Last time they told me to read *Ultraman: The Kept Man*, and it was so toxic it knocked me out.
